Another data point to confirm it works with a custom font file (TTF or OTF) placed in the
Fonts directory on the device. You'd likely want to use custom typeface anyway depending on your preferences.
Examples:
Kaiti
Songti
If you zoom in on the screenshots you might think there are some aliasing issues but in fact it's not noticable on the E Ink screen, all looks well. (Taken on the Shine 3, should not be worse on other devices with the same or better pixel density.)
You might also notice the spacing is off but this is expected as your ePub file uses the standard space. As long as you use the ideographic space (Unicode U+3000) it displays fine as well (I modified the file to test it):
If you read mostly Chinese, you can also consider changing the default fonts. I posted how to do this in
another thread.
